Note 6 – Warrants

 

The Company has valued warrants at their date of issue utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the warrants depending on the date of the issue and their expected life.  The expected life of warrants used was based on the term of the warrant.  The Company determined the expected dividend rate based on the assumption and expectation that earnings generated from operations are not expected to be adequate to allow for the payment of dividends in the near future.  The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized in the fair value calculations for warrants granted:

 

    Nine Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    September 30, 2014     September 30, 2013  
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Expected stock price volatility     134 %     93-98 %
Risk-free interest rate     1.73-1.75 %     .14–2.60 %
Expected life of warrants     4.1-8.8 years      35-9.3 years

 

The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s warrants granted:

 

    Number of Shares Remaining Warrants     Weighted Average Exercise Price     Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term   Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Exercisable at September 30,2014     18,139,250     $ .75     5.4 years   $ 0  

The weighted average fair value of warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $.25 and $.41, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 11,878,000 warrants vested (4,302,625 vested for the nine months ended September 30, 2013), and 1,240,351 warrants expired.
